Our Goals

The Foundation's objective is to fund research to find a cause, expedite treatments and eventually a cure, as well as providing information, education, and support to people who have CFIDS (chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and many other names).

These papers, notably from Mothersill and Seymour, form the fundamental scientific basis for the newest discoveries (radiation induced bystander effects and biophoton emission) being made by the National CFIDS Foundation on behalf of the worldwide patient community. Our cohort is fully represented by internal alpha-radiation exposure which leads to chronic radiation sickness with an increased risk for neurodegenerative tauopathy and cancer resulting from genomic instability and chromosomal abnormalities.

“Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is one of the most important health problems among Chernobyl accident survivors, a malady which could be triggered by low and very low doses of ionizing radiation….”

Reference #2:Do Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation Affect the Human Brain; Loganovsky K; Data Science Journal, 23 June 2009
“A hypothesis about the development of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) under the impact of low and very low doses (of radiation) combined with psychological stress has been suggested. CFS can be considered to be an environmentally induced predisposition and vestige of forthcoming neurodegeneration, cognitive impairment, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Moreover, CFS and metabolic syndrome X are considered to be both radiation-associated syndromes and stages of other neuropsychiatric and physical pathology developments, and CFS can be transformed into metabolic syndrome X. Radiation-induced damage of mitochondrial DNA in post-mitotic tissues with low proliferation activity may be a basis for the effects of low doses in an increase of non-cancer morbidity and mortality in the Chernobyl accident survivors.”

Reference #3:Speculations about Bystander and Biophotons; Sanders CL; Dose Response 2014 May 19;12(4):515-7
Letter to the editor:
“Mothersill and many others during the last hundred years have shown that cells and now whole animals may communicate with each other by electromagnetic waves called biophotons. This would explain the source of the bystander phenomena. These ultra-weak photons are coherent, appear to originate and concentrate in DNA of the cell nucleus and rapidly carry large amounts of data to each cell and to the trillions of other cells in the human body. The implications of such a possibility can be wonderfully important….Mothersill has demonstrated possible photon signalingamong animals as Gurwitsch and Kaznacheyev have both done in vitro. The ramifications of these observations are enormous.”
